Cantu Protective Styles Daily Oil Drops

Cantu Protective Styles Daily Oil Drops are formulated with peppermint and tea tree oil to help soothe the scalp and reduce flaking, adding moisture and encouraging healthy hair growth with key ingredients such as avocado oil, rice bran, nettle extracts and vitamin E.

 

Perfect for scalp comfort under wigs, braids, weaves and locs Co-developed with celebrity expert hairstylist Angela Stevens, for use on natural hair and extensions, this vegan-friendly formula contains no mineral oil or silicones and soothes the scalp while locking in moisture.

 

Comfort that reaches the scalp beneath a protective style Protective styles can make it harder to keep the scalp comfortable day to day. These drops are built to pour directly onto the scalp, so relief from itching and flaking reaches where it's needed most, even while a style is in place.

How to Use and Care for Protective Styles Daily Oil Drops

 

For Scalp Relief: Pour directly onto the scalp and massage in nightly or as needed to relieve itching and flaking when wearing protective styles.

Before Braiding: Pour a dime-to-nickel-size amount into the palms of your hands and massage into blow-dried hair prior to braiding for a weave, wig, or braided style, to seal moisture into the hair and prevent breakage.

Targeted Timing: Use a paddle brush to evenly distribute the oil until hair feels softer from root to tip, then proceed with braiding.

Storage: Apply 1–2 drops on the ends of braids when preparing to take down a weave or braids underneath a wig.

 

Who this is for

 

Anyone wearing protective styles — wigs, braids, weaves or locs — wanting daily scalp comfort and moisture without needing to remove the style.

 

Who this is NOT for

 

Not intended as a substitute for washing the scalp regularly beneath a protective style — these drops address daily comfort rather than deep cleansing.

Here’s a suggested usage guide (based on Cantu’s instructions for “Scalp Oil Drops / Daily Oil Drops”): 

 

  1. For scalp relief (during protective styles):Pour a few drops directly onto the scalp and massage in nightly or as needed to relieve itching or flaking. 
  2. Before styling / braiding / wig installation:Use a dime‑ to nickel‑sized amount in your palms, and massage into blow-dried hair before braiding or applying a wig/weave. This helps seal in moisture and reduce breakage. 
  3. On braid / weave ends when taking down styles:  Apply 1–2 drops on the ends of braids or hair underneath a wig before takedown to soften and reduce breakage. 
  4. Distribute if needed:  If you prefer, use a paddle brush or fingers to evenly distribute the oil from root to tip before styling. 

 

Tips & Precautions:

 

  • Start with a small amount; you can always add more if needed.
  • For sensitive scalp, patch test first (especially since it contains peppermint and tea tree).
  • If applying under styles like wigs or thick braids, ensure oil doesn’t migrate onto scalp pads or linings which might stain or reduce grip.
  • Cleanse scalp periodically to prevent buildup.
  • Always refer to the label on the bottle for the most accurate instructions in your region.
